The volunteers start the ground work.
Most of the building work was carried out by the church members.

The concrete floors to the larger building have been laid, and bricks are being laid.

Health and safety?
Some of the workers took more risks than others.

Everyone did what they could.
Bricks were stored onsite, completely unprotected. Children also helped.

Good balance was necessary at times.

The skeleton of the outer shell of the new building.
The original hut was still being used for services every Sunday.

Progress?
Seems a bit premature to build the front wall, and erect the notice board.

With the walls of the main building nearing completion, work started on the entrance.

Brickwork now complete.
The roof still needs covering.
